Join to apply for the

Senior Software Engineer

role at

Groupe Compass Quebec ltée.

About The Role Are you passionate about shaping scalable, resilient software systems while staying hands‑on in the code? We’re looking for a seasoned

Architect

(or

Senior Engineer with architectural responsibilities ) who thrives at the intersection of strategic thinking and technical execution. In this role, you’ll help define the architectural direction of our platform, partnering closely with engineering and product teams to design services that are built for scale, change, and real‑world impact.

Role Details Hybrid – 3 times a week in office (Toronto or Mississauga)

Job Summary What You Bring to the Table

You’re opinionated about software architecture but flexible in your approach—context always trumps dogma.

You have hands‑on experience crafting, articulating, and coding iterative improvements to existing systems.

You work smart—leveraging the latest tools to their full potential and extending them where they add true value and efficiency.

You advocate for platform thinking, making intentional choices between reuse, separation, and abstraction.

You believe the best architecture is built with teams, not handed down to them.

You know how to evaluate systems for technical merit, operational readiness, and business alignment.

What You’ll Be Doing

Partnering with Engineering and Product leads to design services that are robust, decoupled, and ready for change.

Acting as a technical lead across the product—facilitating design reviews, spotting duplication, and guiding teams toward architectural coherence.

Contributing code, documentation, and architectural artifacts—you’re still in the arena, and your judgment is trusted because it’s grounded in experience.

Mentoring senior engineers, establishing patterns, and codifying decisions that accelerate other teams—be a multiplier.

Helping steward service lifecycle standards: how services are built, integrated, tested, deployed, operated, and deprecated.

Participating actively in Engineering leadership, ensuring architectural decisions scale with the business and platform direction.

Your Background Includes

8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in an architectural or staff‑level role.

Deep hands‑on experience designing APIs, integrating systems, and building for scale in cloud‑native environments.

A track record of driving architectural decisions across multiple services and squads.

Proficiency in system decomposition, event‑driven design, and modern development practices like CI/CD, containerization, and observability.

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Experience That’s a Plus

Hands‑on experience with NestJS, TypeScript, Postgres, DynamoDB, AWS, and EventBridge.

Familiarity with multi‑tenant systems or product‑as‑a‑service patterns.

Exposure to hospitality, foodservice, or commerce‑related platforms.

Experience contributing to Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), RFCs, or design standards across teams.
